There wasa red-hot time Tuesday afternoon atthe residence on Spring street the ownership of which is claimed by both John Hamilton and. A.H. Underwood. In asuit tried before Justice Sowden several days ago Hamilton was declared the owner of some furniture in the building which is also claimed by and was inthe possession of Underwoodwhooccupiethe house. Tuesday Constable Stephens was sent there to remove the property when Underwood’s housekeeper protested. She sent for Underwood’s attorneys, Messrs. Mason and McCormick. “Mr. Mason upon reaching the scene asked the officer if he had a search warrant and the latter said no. Mr. Mason then gave the woman a loaded pistol and told her to blow the daylights out of the officer ii he attempted to remove anything from the building. The constable went down street. and informing himself of hie rights put another man in charge to see that nothing was spirited away. The attorneys for Underwood had previously given notice of appeal _from the justice’s decision. The at torneys for. Hamilton consented toa suepension of the execution till yesterday afternoon. in order that, Underwood might if he desired file the n-ces sary bonds on appeal. He filed the bond. “Those Eligible. Prof. T. B. Gray, principal of the public schools of this city, has received from Prof. Fred M. Campbel of Oakland in response to an inquiry as to who are eligible to become members of the National Educational Association a letter in which the following information is given: ‘‘Any person is eligible to membership who is in any way connected with the work of education. Such person may become a member on the payment of $2 and signing the constitution. Any one holding a certificate or diploma to teach is eligible.” Lost-and Found. It was reported to the constabulary the early par ofthe week that a lady’s gold watch had been stolen. Officer Dillon went to -work on the case and soon traced the missing time piece to its hiding place. A woman had it, and she protested that she had no intention of stealing it. The owner was so glad toget it back that she concluded not to prosecute the charge of grand larency. Planting an Olive Orchard: ‘A. B. Driesbach of Indian Springs farm at the lower end of Penn Valley has just finished clearing off ten or more acres of land which he will at once plant to olives.

The boys of California are, as a class, unusually ingress satisfactorily in school, and up toacertain age, generally give fair promise of a useful manhood. When they arrive at the age of about fourteen, however, a transition takes place: They suddenly grow very important, are ambitious to l-arn tosmoke, chew, play billiards, drink whiskey, run around nghts, swear, and throw off all parental restraint. In too many instances their fathers weakly yield to their precocious sons, and the result is that we have, ull over the State, a lot of impertinent youths who foolishly ape” the-;worst~ habits -only—-of their elders, who are worthless now, and who bid fair to make worthless men. I regard this time, between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, as the most important epoch of life. Every boy during this time, should either select himself, or have selected for him, some regular business, After the-kind-of-business-has—been~agreed: upon, it is the only true kindness to the boy tocompel’ him, if necessary, to stick to it. I believe that fickleness in jumping about from one occupation to another, and criminal negligence in not getting into any regular business, are the two greatest evils in the path of our boys. Jacks-of-ull-, trades, and men without any trade at all, are more plenty in California than in any other State. By trade, I mean every branch of business by: which money is made, mining, agricultural, mechanical, mercantile, and professional: There are very few boys in this county who are fitting for college with a view of entering one of the learned professions. We shall seon need a new set of lawyers, doctors, ministers, editors, and schoolmasters, and we do not want mere pettyfoggers, quacks, bores, demagogues, and ignoramuses. There are not many boys who are regularly serving out their time learning a trade. ‘There are too many who are ready to do odd jobs until they ‘‘make a raise,” .and then loaf until they spend it. These things ovght not to be. Boys should go to school as long as they can, and then be put at some regular, steady business, and keptatit. If such business for 47 years with an aggravated form: is not to be found here, let their parents help them hunt until they do find it. Finally, let boys be boys until they grow to be men. A Faruer or Boys. The Best Land in California The Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel says: It is not generally known, but it is no less a fact, that the lands of greatest value in California are to be found in the foothills along the western slope of the Sierras. Valley lands do not compare with them in price of productiveness. The valley lands are chiefly devoted to the growing. of wheat and barley, which have substantially fixed prices in the market. Men know what in acre of wheat or barley will bring, and that settles the value of the land. Besides constant irrigation in the flat, low land must ultimately }roduce malaria aud sickness: It is not so with the foothills where there is ample drainage combined with the pure atmosphere of a most healthful altiiude. The choice fruits grow in the foothills, a single acre sometimes producing from fifty to one hundred dollars worth of rare varieties. There is no foothill belt in Southern California. About 1.03 Angeles, oranges, etc., are cultivated onthe valley lands. [his great undeveloped, or partially developed resource of Culifornia toduy lies in her ‘fvothill lands, stretching along the western base of the Sierras, from Amador to the outh of Shasta ‘ounty. on the north. At isolated spots all along this great belt fruit lands are now selling -from.$100 to $200 per acre. Notably is this so in -he neighborhoods of Auburn and Colfax, in Nevada and Butte counties. Lancs are now selling for $100 to $200 to the acre that three years ago could be had for $5. The whole belt we have described is good. It is better than any part of Southern California. A pers.n cannot. miss it, no matter where he drives his pegs. Some places may come into market sooner than others, this is all. The future will bring it all in at high prices. The pest oranges grown in Culifornia are irom Butte county, and they come inte market a month ahead of Los Angeles oranges. Culifornia’s greatest noom is yet to come in these foothills that we have taiked about. abet yaa Veena ee eomiereanei Worth Know ing. Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Florida, was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distressing cough and running into consumption in its first etages. He tried many so-called popular remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New. Discovery for c.nsumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has bad no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so great. a record of cures, as Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption guaranteed to do just what is claimed for it. Trial bottle free i t The Home Life of the Miners of Those Minerals Compared. There is a vast difference when one comes to compare the conditions of the gold miners in.Nevada county and of the coul miners at Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. No class of people here live more comfortably than do the families of those who workin tha mines. They are well clothed and fed, their homes are neatly and often handsomely furnished, and the children enjoy the . very best educational advantages that money can obtain. They take newspapers, some having good-sized and wellselected libraries with the contents of which they are familiar. In fict many of the most attractive homes are those of our mining citizens. Things are quite different among the coal miners at Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, as will be seen from the following published by the Christian Union: ‘The houses of the men were decently furnished and decently kept. In the front room there was always a carpet, but no fire; in the back room a fire but no carpet The men whom 1'met all spoke of drinking when they: could afford it. And one of them said that when he came out of the mine he needed a little drink of whisky to take away the dead feeling and make him able th enjoy his evening. _ The wife of thisman spoke rather disapprovingly of this practice, but said that her husband never drank . much; LPhis same woman, bythe. way,began at once to condemn the strike, but her husband shut her off by some indistinct -word and a look which meant, ‘You talk too much ’ It was quite obvious from the talks Thad that most of the wives were mildly opposed to the striké, though I was told that a. good many :of. the Irish. women said they. would live on potato peelings before they would have their men go to work at the old wages. The food.which the American miners eat is very simple. In the morning they have a ilttle hot coffee and some bread before leaving for their work, and they have; very little meat at their mid-day lunches. The meal of the day is supper. Then they have not only vegetables, but mutton, or pork, or sometimes beef. Taking all in ali, the miners of Shenandoah (always excepting the Poles and Hungarians) are a superior. class of laborers, who still live decently, and whose ‘oppression’ consists maidy in the fact that they find matters growing worse instead of better.’ Wooden Ware Manufactures. Sugar pine is said to be the best material that can be found in California for the manficture of wooden ware, such as pails, tubs, churns, and casks of various kinds. The kind of . wood_suitable for such purposes _ is. only found in @ few localites, and very generally in almost inaccessible places. Choice sugar pine lumber in San Francisco, for the manufacture of tubs, pails, etc., is held at fabulous prices. There are places in Nevada county where this kind of timber can be had in large quantities. and, if made into lua, ber and manufactured on the ground, a saving in a raw material could be effected of from three to four hundred per cent. If it will pay manufacturers to ship such lumber to San Francisco at such a heavy cost, a much larger profit might be realized by manufacturing it here and exporting: the manufactured article. Rents here, or where the timber is sawed, would not be anything, and labor would cost no more than in San Francisco. It is surprising that manufacturers of sugar pine have not looked into this matter before. and taken advantage of the inducements that are presented for their business in this county. A Circular From the Pope. His Holiness Pope Lee XIII has sent to Archbishop Riordan, and every prelate of the American hierarchy, a letter ordaining that henceforth a collection shall be taken up once every year in every parish for the purpose of preserving the strines made sacred by the Savior’s passion. The shrines are erected along the way to Calvary, where Jesus bore His Cross, and each one is built on the site of some especially memorable incident of the Passion. The sacred edifices are in charge of Fraciscan Fathers, and have been repaired by the Roman pontiffs from time to time during different centuries. The present resources of the priests who guard the shrine are insufficient for the proper protection of the ‘holy places, but the circular of Lee XIII, by commanding this annual collection to be hereafter taken up, has thereby made a perpetual provision in their behalf, Although thé Pope prefers that the collection be made on Good Friday, his Holiness leaves it to the bishops to select any day they choose.

The San Francisco Post of Tuesday publishes the following, the parties to the suit having been married here instead of at Grass Valley as stated, and Mr. Lane still being a resident of this city: a Kittie Grace Lane appeared before Judge Finn this morning witli a tale of woe, and asked the court to release the bonds that bound her to a wortless husband, John Lane. “When were you married?’”’ asked heli. = oe “T don’t remember,’’ absently replied the youny wife. “Yeu don’t remember? Why, that’s curious. How long have you been married??? continued the surprised Judge. “Oh, ten. years,’’ she quickly. replied “And you don’t remember when you were married?” **No; sir.”’ ‘Have you any children ?”” “Yes, sir, one.’’ “Now, then, goon and tell all about your case,”’ But she would not tell except in answers to questions, and fipally, by the combined efforts .of her counsel andthe Judge, it was rung from her, « word at a time, that she was married in Grass Valley about ten years ago. That fora time after their marriage they lived aronnd among relatives, he paying very little, it any rent, and hardiy more toward her’ support. Finally she gathered together what household effects she could and weut to housekeeping, bat her John did not Final'y her hea!th broke down, and she came to this city for medical treatment two years ago and has_ remained here ever since, entirely without the support of-her husband or any knowl ed-e of his doings or whereabouts.

Considering that she had been cruelly neglecied, the Judze took com passion on her and set her free. Grass Valley Mining Notes. From the Tidings: A party of tributers_at the New Rocky Bar mine are taking out high grade ore from that portion of the mine adjoining the Ford & Mullen ground, famous a few years ago for its richness. From the Union: A crushing of -10 loads of ore from the Contidence mine has just been cleaned up at the Crown Point mill, which yielded $10-per load in gold, not counting sulphurets, The rock was taken from the’ croppings of the ledge down to the depth’of about 35 feet. The Confidence is‘on what ir known as the Sauvee gronnd, and the average width of the ledge is 26 inches. Frank: and Adolph Dulmaine, A. Sauvee and: several «ther parties own the property. The ground is joining the W.Y.0O.D., in fact the quartz A Lively Contest for the Estate of a sick _ Man Who Still Lives. ee Mrs. J. L. Lewison, W. H. Kruger and yesterday petitioned the Superior Court for lettera of guardianship of Elle Ellen, the insane Truckee lumberman, These gentlemen claim to be experienced lumnbermen, being engaged in that business at Truckee. They say that if his affairs are properly managed this season a profit of $10,000 can be realized between now,and next winter, They allege that“Pat Henry, Ellen’s son-inlaw, who ‘also wants to be appointed guardian of the old man, is incompetent for the position; that he once tried to manage the business and making no profit was discharged by Ellen, since which-time the two have been enemies. These gentlemen say they enjoy Ellen’s confidence and esteem, and are the guardians of his infant grandson, John A, Regli, or., also executors of the estate of the infunt’s deceased father. — When Mr. Henry filed his petition he claimed: that Ellen had placed $17,000 in trust tn: the handsy-of his daughter, Mrs. Regli, who has since died, as bas alsoher husband, It ie asserted by Henry that this money belongs to Ellen, and not to the Regli estate. Therefore he holds that suit should be vrought against the executors of the Regli estate to compel a . a return of the money to Ellen. His . theory is that Messrs. Lewison and Kruger cannot be at the game ‘time guardians of the Regli child and also of Mr. Ellen. There promises to be a warin-contest. The matter came on to be heard before Judge Walling. yesterday. Mr. Henry’s attorney was Thos. 8. Ford, counsel for. Messrs. Kruger and Lewison being C.--F. MeGlashan and Fred. Searls, A Cigarette Victim. The Fresno Republican mentions a case of cigarette poisoning reported to ‘hat paper by a physician, ‘The facts ure vouched for, and names only are suppressed. The report is as follows: ‘Some days ago the physician mentioned was culled ‘to the bedside.of a young man of about 17 years of age, who was apparently suffering from a disease that differed in all its symptoms from anything the doctor hadever met with in his practice. He learned, however, that the‘tad was an inveter. ate cigarette-smoker, and realizing thut he was a victim of that habit, began at once to combat the results of the poison instilled into the system by cigarettes. Day by day.the young man grew worse, and paralysis wus just crushed is probably from a continuation of that ledge. The prospect is a good one, and the owners feel encouraged over the result. An Editor Knocked Out. A few days ago this paper published aletter from ‘‘Blue Eyes” in which the: fair damsel ‘‘burned up’. the Virginia City Enterprise man for his remarks concerning the merriageable girls of Nevada City and their prospects. Mr. Enterprise is completely knocked out by her ladyship. This is all he can say in response: Just our luck! ‘“Spiled’’ all our chances again. But there is also evidently a point of difference between the Nevada City quill-pusher and “Blue Eyes," for.he.says there are 100 pretty, marriageable girls in Nevadu City, while she maintains there are “only thirty of us.’ She is trying to “bull”? the market, : With regards to ‘‘Blue Eyes’ ’’ determination to stay away from newspaper men, we say amen, for doubtless there would goon be \ ore black eyes than blue eyes resulting from the pool.

There wasa red-hot time Tuesday afternoon atthe residence on Spring street the ownership of which is claimed by both John Hamilton and. A.H. Underwood. In asuit tried before Justice Sowden several days ago Hamilton was declared the owner of some furniture in the building which is also claimed by and was inthe possession of Underwoodwhooccupiethe house. Tuesday Constable Stephens was sent there to remove the property when Underwood’s housekeeper protested. She sent for Underwood’s attorneys, Messrs. Mason and McCormick. “Mr. Mason upon reaching the scene asked the officer if he had a search warrant and the latter said no. Mr. Mason then gave the woman a loaded pistol and told her to blow the daylights out of the officer ii he attempted to remove anything from the building. The constable went down street. and informing himself of hie rights put another man in charge to see that nothing was spirited away. The attorneys for Underwood had previously given notice of appeal _from the justice’s decision. The at torneys for. Hamilton consented toa suepension of the execution till yesterday afternoon. in order that, Underwood might if he desired file the n-ces sary bonds on appeal. He filed the bond. “Those Eligible. Prof. T. B. Gray, principal of the public schools of this city, has received from Prof. Fred M.

Such person may become a member on the payment of $2 and signing the constitution. Any one holding a certificate or diploma to teach is eligible.” Lost-and Found. It was reported to the constabulary the early par ofthe week that a lady’s gold watch had been stolen. Officer Dillon went to -work on the case and soon traced the missing time piece to its hiding place. A woman had it, and she protested that she had no intention of stealing it.

The boys of California are, as a class, unusually ingress satisfactorily in school, and up toacertain age, generally give fair promise of a useful manhood. When they arrive at the age of about fourteen, however, a transition takes place: They suddenly grow very important, are ambitious to l-arn tosmoke, chew, play billiards, drink whiskey, run around nghts, swear, and throw off all parental restraint. In too many instances their fathers weakly yield to their precocious sons, and the result is that we have, ull over the State, a lot of impertinent youths who foolishly ape” the-;worst~ habits -only—-of their elders, who are worthless now, and who bid fair to make worthless men. I regard this time, between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, as the most important epoch of life. Every boy during this time, should either select himself, or have selected for him, some regular business, After the-kind-of-business-has—been~agreed: upon, it is the only true kindness to the boy tocompel’ him, if necessary, to stick to it. I believe that fickleness in jumping about from one occupation to another, and criminal negligence in not getting into any regular business, are the two greatest evils in the path of our boys. Jacks-of-ull-, trades, and men without any trade at all, are more plenty in California than in any other State. By trade, I mean every branch of business by: which money is made, mining, agricultural, mechanical, mercantile, and professional: There are very few boys in this county who are fitting for college with a view of entering one of the learned professions. We shall seon need a new set of lawyers, doctors, ministers, editors, and schoolmasters, and we do not want mere pettyfoggers, quacks, bores, demagogues, and ignoramuses. There are not many boys who are regularly serving out their time learning a trade. ‘There are too many who are ready to do odd jobs until they ‘‘make a raise,” .and then loaf until they spend it. These things ovght not to be. Boys should go to school as long as they can, and then be put at some regular, steady business, and keptatit. If such business for 47 years with an aggravated form: is not to be found here, let their parents help them hunt until they do find it. Finally, let boys be boys until they grow to be men. A Faruer or Boys. The Best Land in California The Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel says: It is not generally known, but it is no less a fact, that the lands of greatest value in California are to be found in the foothills along the western slope of the Sierras. Valley lands do not compare with them in price of productiveness. The valley lands are chiefly devoted to the growing. of wheat and barley, which have substantially fixed prices in the market. Men know what in acre of wheat or barley will bring, and that settles the value of the land. Besides constant irrigation in the flat, low land must ultimately }roduce malaria aud sickness: It is not so with the foothills where there is ample drainage combined with the pure atmosphere of a most healthful altiiude. The choice fruits grow in the foothills, a single acre sometimes producing from fifty to one hundred dollars worth of rare varieties. There is no foothill belt in Southern California.. About 1.03 Angeles, oranges, etc., are cultivated onthe valley lands. [his great undeveloped, or partially developed resource of Culifornia toduy lies in her ‘fvothill lands, stretching along the western base of the Sierras, from Amador to the outh of Shasta ‘ounty. on the north. At isolated spots all along this great belt fruit lands are now selling -from.$100 to $200 per acre. Notably is this so in -he neighborhoods of Auburn and Colfax, in Nevada and Butte counties. Lancs are now selling for $100 to $200 to the acre that three years ago could be had for $5.. The whole belt we have described is good. It is better than any part of Southern California. A pers.n cannot. miss it, no matter where he drives his pegs. Some places may come into market sooner than others, this is all. The future will bring it all in at high prices. The pest oranges grown in Culifornia are irom Butte county, and they come inte market a month ahead of Los Angeles oranges. Culifornia’s greatest noom is yet to come in these foothills that we have taiked about. abet yaa Veena ee eomiereanei Worth Know ing. Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Florida, was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distressing cough and running into consumption in its first etages. He tried many so-called popular remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King’s New. Discovery for c.nsumption and found immediate relief, and after using about a half dozen bottles found himself well and has bad no return of the disease. No other remedy can show so great. a record of cures, as Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption guaranteed to do just what is claimed for it. Trial bottle free i t The Home Life of the Miners of Those Minerals Compared. There is a vast difference when one comes to compare the conditions of the gold miners in.Nevada county and of the coul miners at Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. No class of people here live more comfortably than do the families of those who workin tha mines. They are well clothed and fed, their homes are neatly and often handsomely furnished, and the children enjoy the . very best educational advantages that money can obtain. They take newspapers, some having good-sized and wellselected libraries with the contents of which they are familiar. In fict many of the most attractive homes are those of our mining citizens. Things are quite different among the coal miners at Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, as will be seen from the following published by the Christian Union: ‘The houses of the men were decently furnished and decently kept. In the front room there was always a carpet, but no fire; in the back room a fire but no carpet The men whom 1'met all spoke of drinking when they: could afford it. And one of them said that when he came out of the mine he needed a little drink of whisky to take away the dead feeling and make him able th enjoy his evening. _ The wife of thisman spoke rather disapprovingly of this practice, but said that her husband never drank . much; LPhis same woman, bythe. way,began at once to condemn the strike, but her husband shut her off by some indistinct -word and a look which meant, ‘You talk too much ’ It was quite obvious from the talks Thad that most of the wives were mildly opposed to the striké, though I was told that a. good many :of. the Irish. women said they. would live on potato peelings before they would have their men go to work at the old wages. The food.which the American miners eat is very simple. In the morning they have a ilttle hot coffee and some bread before leaving for their work, and they have; very little meat at their mid-day lunches. The meal of the day is supper. Then they have not only vegetables, but mutton, or pork, or sometimes beef. Taking all in ali, the miners of Shenandoah (always excepting the Poles and Hungarians) are a superior. class of laborers, who still live decently, and whose ‘oppression’ consists maidy in the fact that they find matters growing worse instead of better.’ Wooden Ware Manufactures. Sugar pine is said to be the best material that can be found in California for the manficture of wooden ware, such as pails, tubs, churns, and casks of various kinds. The kind of . wood_suitable for such purposes _ is. only found in @ few localites, and very generally in almost inaccessible places. Choice sugar pine lumber in San Francisco, for the manufacture of tubs, pails, etc., is held at fabulous prices. There are places in Nevada county where this kind of timber can be had in large quantities. and, if made into lua, ber and manufactured on the ground, a saving in a raw material could be effected of from three to four hundred per cent. If it will pay manufacturers to ship such lumber to San Francisco at such a heavy cost, a much larger profit might be realized by manufacturing it here and exporting: the manufactured article. Rents here, or where the timber is sawed, would not be anything, and labor would cost no more than in San Francisco. It is surprising that manufacturers of sugar pine have not looked into this matter before. and taken advantage of the inducements that are presented for their business in this county. A Circular From the Pope. His Holiness Pope Lee XIII has sent to Archbishop Riordan, and every prelate of the American hierarchy, a letter ordaining that henceforth a collection shall be taken up once every year in every parish for the purpose of preserving the strines made sacred by the Savior’s passion. The shrines are erected along the way to Calvary, where Jesus bore His Cross, and each one is built on the site of some especially memorable incident of the Passion. The sacred edifices are in charge of Fraciscan Fathers, and have been repaired by the Roman pontiffs from time to time during different centuries. The present resources of the priests who guard the shrine are insufficient for the proper protection of the ‘holy places, but the circular of Lee XIII, by commanding this annual collection to be hereafter taken up, has thereby made a perpetual provision in their behalf, Although thé Pope prefers that the collection be made on Good Friday, his Holiness leaves it to the bishops to select any day they choose.

The San Francisco Post of Tuesday publishes the following, the parties to the suit having been married here instead of at Grass Valley as stated, and Mr. Lane still being a resident of this city: a Kittie Grace Lane appeared before Judge Finn this morning witli a tale of woe, and asked the court to release the bonds that bound her to a wortless husband, John Lane. “When were you married?’”’ asked heli. = oe “T don’t remember,’’ absently replied the youny wife. “Yeu don’t remember? Why, that’s curious. How long have you been married??? continued the surprised Judge. “Oh, ten. years,’’ she quickly. replied “And you don’t remember when

you were married?” **No; sir.”’ ‘Have you any children ?”” “Yes, sir, one.’’ “Now, then, goon and tell all about your case,”’ But she would not tell except in answers to questions, and fipally, by the combined efforts .of her counsel andthe Judge, it was rung from her, « word at a time, that she was married in Grass Valley about ten years ago. That fora time after their marriage they lived aronnd among relatives, he paying very little, it any rent, and hardiy more toward her’ support. Finally she gathered together what household effects she could and weut to housekeeping, bat her John did not Final'y her hea!th broke down, and she came to this city for medical treatment two years ago and has_ remained here ever since, entirely without the support of-her husband or any knowl ed-e of his doings or whereabouts.

Considering that she had been cruelly neglecied, the Judze took com passion on her and set her free. Grass Valley Mining Notes. From the Tidings: A party of tributers_at the New Rocky Bar mine are taking out high grade ore from that portion of the mine adjoining the Ford & Mullen ground, famous a few years ago for its richness. From the Union: A crushing of -10 loads of ore from the Contidence mine has just been cleaned up at the Crown Point mill, which yielded $10-per load in gold, not counting sulphurets, The rock was taken from the’ croppings of the ledge down to the depth’of about 35 feet. The Confidence is‘on what ir known as the Sauvee gronnd, and the average width of the ledge is 26 inches. Frank: and Adolph Dulmaine, A. Sauvee and: several «ther parties own the property. The ground is joining the W.Y.0O.D., in fact the quartz A Lively Contest for the Estate of a sick _ Man Who Still Lives. ee Mrs. J. L. Lewison, W. H. Kruger and yesterday petitioned the Superior Court for lettera of guardianship of Elle Ellen, the insane Truckee lumberman, These gentlemen claim to be experienced lumnbermen, being engaged in that business at Truckee. They say that if his affairs are properly managed this season a profit of $10,000 can be realized between now,and next winter, They allege that“Pat Henry, Ellen’s son-inlaw, who ‘also wants to be appointed guardian of the old man, is incompetent for the position; that he once tried to manage the business and making no profit was discharged by Ellen, since which-time the two have been enemies. These gentlemen say they enjoy Ellen’s confidence and esteem, and are the guardians of his infant grandson, John A, Regli, or., also executors of the estate of the infunt’s deceased father. — When Mr. Henry filed his petition he claimed: that Ellen had placed $17,000 in trust tn: the handsy-of his daughter, Mrs. Regli, who has since died, as bas alsoher husband, It ie asserted by Henry that this money belongs to Ellen, and not to the Regli estate. Therefore he holds that suit should be vrought against the executors of the Regli estate to compel a . a return of the money to Ellen. His . theory is that Messrs. Lewison and Kruger cannot be at the game ‘time guardians of the Regli child and also of Mr. Ellen. There promises to be a warin-contest. The matter came on to be heard before Judge Walling. yesterday. Mr. Henry’s attorney was Thos. 8. Ford, counsel for. Messrs. Kruger and Lewison being C.--F.. MeGlashan and Fred. Searls, A Cigarette Victim. The Fresno Republican mentions a case of cigarette poisoning reported to ‘hat paper by a physician, ‘The facts ure vouched for, and names only are suppressed. The report is as follows: ‘Some days ago the physician mentioned was culled ‘to the bedside.of a young man of about 17 years of age, who was apparently suffering from a disease that differed in all its symptoms from anything the doctor hadever met with in his practice. He learned, however, that the‘tad was an inveter. ate cigarette-smoker, and realizing thut he was a victim of that habit, began at once to combat the results of the poison instilled into the system by cigarettes. Day by day.the young man grew worse, and paralysis wus just crushed is probably from a continuation of that ledge. The prospect is a good one, and the owners feel encouraged over the result. An Editor Knocked Out. A few days ago this paper published aletter from ‘‘Blue Eyes” in which the: fair damsel ‘‘burned up’. the Virginia City Enterprise man for his remarks concerning the merriageable girls of Nevada City and their prospects. Mr. Enterprise is completely knocked out by her ladyship. This is all he can say in response: Just our luck! ‘“Spiled’’ all our chances again. But there is also evidently a point of difference between the Nevada City quill-pusher and “Blue Eyes," for.he.says there are 100 pretty, marriageable girls in Nevadu City, while she maintains there are “only thirty of us.’ She is trying to “bull”? the market, : With regards to ‘‘Blue Eyes’ ’’ determination to stay away from newspaper men, we say amen, for doubtless there would goon be \ ore black eyes than blue eyes resulting from the pool.
